Chapter 64: Extraordinarily Thick-skinned
"Hmph, even though we've mocked you so much, you still come to pay your respects. You're really shameless!" A girl in a blue dress covered her mouth with a handkerchief, giggling, her eyes full of contempt.
Li Yaojia smiled at her, dignified and generous. "I was invited to attend the City Lord's daughter's coming-of-age ceremony. How can I leave before Miss Zhu completes her coming-of-age ceremony? Wouldn't that be rude? Could it be that Miss Zhu enjoys doing this kind of thing?"
"You!" The girl in the blue dress turned pale with anger, glaring at Li Yaojia. "You little girl, you're quite articulate! Since you know how to be polite, why don't you dress up properly when you're invited to Shanshan's coming-of-age ceremony? Don't you think highly of Shanshan at all? Or are you so poor that you can't even afford to buy you some decent clothes?"
"Today is Miss Zhu's coming-of-age ceremony. As a supporting actress, I think I only need to dress appropriately and elegantly. There is no need to dress up deliberately. Could it be that you are trying to steal the limelight from Miss Zhu?" Li Yaojia replied to her.
"How dare you!" The girl in the blue skirt was completely furious and stepped forward and slapped him!
"Miss!" Xiaoyun screamed and supported Li Yaojia.
The girl in the blue skirt looked at Li Yaojia's red and swollen cheeks, not only not afraid, but also proudly put her hands on her hips, "Hmph, you country bumpkin who has never seen the world! You think you can just enter the City Lord's Mansion if you want? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? I beat you up today for your own good, to let you know who you shouldn't mess with!"
Li Yaojia was furious. She pushed Xiaoyun away and rushed to the girl in the blue skirt like a calf, knocking her to the ground!
The girl in the blue dress screamed in pain, "Ah!"
"Yuhuan!" The girl in the green dress beside her exclaimed, hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and angrily said to Li Yaojia, "Do you know who Yuhuan is? She is Miss Zhu's cousin! Her mother and Miss Zhu's mother are sisters! How dare you be rude to Yuhuan? Prepare to die!"
Xiaoyun burst into tears when she heard this, "Miss, what should we do?"
"Nothing to do! We did nothing wrong. She was rude first. I don't believe that the people in the City Lord's Mansion can be unreasonable!" Li Yaojia snorted and said loudly.
"What happened?" Suddenly a gentle yet majestic female voice came from the side, and everyone immediately looked in the direction of the voice.
The city lord's wife, dressed in luxurious clothes and with an elegant temperament, walked slowly over, surrounded by Mrs. Hu, her daughter and others.
When the girl named Yuhuan saw her, she immediately rushed towards her crying, "Auntie!"
"Yuhuan, what's wrong? Who made you angry?" The city lord's wife hugged the crying girl and asked with concern.
"Aunt, someone's bullying me, wuwu... They're calling me a scoundrel and saying I'm dressing nicely to steal my cousin's limelight! They're also calling me uncultured and knocking me to the ground. My back hurts so much, wuwu..." Yuhuan choked, complaining with immense grievance. "Who is it?" The City Lord's wife's face darkened upon hearing this. She gazed at the many young women before her and demanded, "I want to ask, which rich girl is so arrogant that she's scolding people in my own mansion! And she's calling my niece uncultured. I really want to know what kind of upbringing she has!"
Yuhuan pointed at Li Yaojia and said, "That's her!"
The City Lord's wife remained silent, but when Mrs. Hu saw that it was Li Yaojia, she immediately spoke, "Yaojia?"
"Sister, do you know him?" The City Lord's wife immediately asked Mrs. Hu upon hearing this.
